I think there is a pun, or message that I'm missing here. I'm not going to mark down for that though, it's my fault. The photos it's self is fairly interesting. What really caught my eye is the size of the chairs. Are they more like stools? Everything is nice where the eggplant is concerned. The lighting, angle and clarity are all good. Some might comment on the glare, but I don't think it's strong enough to be distracting. The naked guy in the back is a little dark for my taste, however, I think that is what you were going for. Kind of trying to emphasize the eggplant, while keeping the naked guy in the back, but still in the photo. Overall interesting photo. Good luck in the challenge. ~HBunch7187~

I'm guessing the other one is a fruit?

I am trying desperately to "get this". I think it's interesting, and provocative, but I am left wondering about the meaning. Please tell me later? Thanks.

I haven't been commenting for a few weeks but this photo sorta begged me for a comment. I guess that is a good thing:-)

The idea is interesting but I feel as if the nude male is added gratuitously...Plus the fact he is obviously a man but with the feet not touching the ground and in a corner like that he is reverting back to childhood.

The whole shot has a disturbing sorta fetish feel about it..very manipulating but it feels dishonest in relation to the challenge. So the emotion generated here is lost by making me feel like somebody is acting rather than being true.....sorta psuedo intellectual stuff that tends to turn me off..personal preference.

The technical stuff like lighting and the shadow to the side and the lighting of the eggplant etc are also personally not interesting to the shot but thats subjective.

The emotional context is good so points for that..the challenge is o.k. but the underlying dishonesty makes me feel very negative to the photo....7..hokie

upgraded to a 7...made me think more than most photos and that means something to me

I'm not sure I quite understand what you were going for, but it's so weird that I like it.

Good color, strange photo. Eggplants are dark, but this seem extra dark. Large blank walls. Why the naked man? 7 Swash

i like the imagery here. the real, relegated to the background, is subordinated by the symbol in the foreground.
